A survey to assess Facebook usage habits among university students, along with a boredom scale and personality measure.
You are invited to participate in a research project examining extroversion, boredom and Facebook usage of university students. You will be asked to fill out three questionnaires: they will be modified versions of the NEO-PI-R: Extraversion, Facebook Intensity Scale and Boredom Proneness Scale. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without penalty. This study is being conducted as part of a course requirement for the Research Design and Analysis course (PSYC 2023).
All information obtained is strictly confidential. The only identifying information associated with your responses to the questionnaire will be your gender and age. This information will be deleted if it might enable an individual to be identified. All responses will be analyzed as a group and all data will be presented in summary form; no individual data will ever be presented.
This study will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. There are no known harms from the completion of this study. There are no direct benefits to you in terms of the research results; however, your participation will contribute to a dataset that will be used to further our understanding of the relationship between these variables. If you have any questions regarding data collection, you may contact 128589r@acadiau.ca.
